The Experience

Culture

There are the city-states Venice annexed in the 15th century: Padua (Padova), with its pre-Renaissance frescoes; Vicenza, with Palladio’s peerless architecture; and Verona, with its sophisticated bustle atop Roman foundations. Culture-lovers will want to attend the famous outdoors opera season in Verona’s Roman arena, and will be spoiled with the region’s collection of art galleries and fine architecture.

Food & Wine

The wines, in particular, Valpolicella’s bold Amarones, are top rate. The hills around Conegliano produce Italy’s finest bubbly: Prosecco Superiore. For harder stuff, Bassano del Grappa provides its eponymous firewater.Wine-lovers will find several good local wines, including the sparkling Prosecco which can be sampled in vineyards along the so called ‘Ring of Prosecco’.

Landscape

The Veneto extends from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, by way of an expansive range of hills and a valley furrowed by rivers, canals and the Po River Delta. One experiences the dramatic mountain beauty and fairytale towns in the Italian and Austrian Alps. Ride over exhilarating passes, climb by soaring spires and downhill to charming hamlets surrounded by meadows of wildflowers on alpine routes made famous by the world’s greatest cyclists.
